What is an exterior angle of a triangle?

Back

An exterior angle is formed by one side of the triangle and the extension of an adjacent side.

Front

How do you calculate the measure of an exterior angle?

Back

The measure of an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles.

If one angle of a triangle measures 70 degrees, what is the maximum possible measure of the other two angles?

Back

The maximum possible measure of the other two angles is 110 degrees (since 180 - 70 = 110).

If angle A is 40 degrees and angle B is 60 degrees, what is the measure of angle C in triangle ABC?

Back

Angle C measures 80 degrees (180 - 40 - 60 = 80).
